Index/
Inmates

Horizontally
across the page are the categories.Vertically
along the left side are the states the categories
apply to.

State
= the State the crimes took place in.Population
= the population of the state as
estimated by the US Census Bureau. The
crime and inmate rates are both per 100,000 people for the year.Index
= the total number of reported crimes per
100,000 people for the year.Violent
Crime = the total number for each of the violent crime categories per
100,000
people for the year. Property
Crime =
the total number of the property crime categories per 100,000 people
for the
year. The
same applies for each of the
crime categories: Murder - Rape
- Robbery - Assault
- Burglary - Larceny
- Auto.

For
the Years 1978 to present there are three more
categories.The Inmate category =
the
number of prisoners under the jurisdiction of state or federal
correctional
authorities, on December 31. New
Index *
= Developed by the Disaster Center to examine how punishment is being
applied
to crimes. The
old index measured all
crime equally. One violent crime was equal to one property crime. There
are about ten times more property crimes than violent crimes.Half
of people are imprisoned for violent
crime and half for non-violent crime.To
make things relatively equal, we divided property crimes by ten and
added that
total to the number of reported violent crimes to create the new index.
.Index/
Inmates = We divide the new crime index
by the number of prisoners reported for each year to compare crime to
punishment
each year between the states and over the years.

For the table below we ranked each category with the highest rate
ranking 1 and the lowest ranking 50.

Index/
Inmates

These
pages
compare reported crimes and imprisonment rates for every 100,000 people
for each
year in the 50 United States and rank each State's crime/imprisonment
rates.

In order
to
compare crime to punishment we created a new crime index* and divided
that
index by the ratio of inmates to crimes of each state, as reported to
the Bureau
of Justice Statistics.In an important new way, this table links crime to
punishment within
and between the States.

The
traditional
crime index is made up of the total crimes committed in each State.The
problem with the old index is that it
provides equal weight to every crime and far more property
crimes are
committed than violent crimes.Since
violent criminals make up about half the prison
population and
about ten times more property crimes are
committed than violent crimes, for the
new index* we divided the number of property crimes by ten and
added to that the number of violent crimes to make up the new index*.

Since
we developed the tables:
"Rate Per 100,000 and Rank by State of Crime and Imprisonment by US
States 1978 - 2012",
we are interested in hearing how others use the table. Email: host@disastercenter.com
